Safety City
Organized in 1985; the firefighters, police, community businesses and various civic groups developed a partnership to donate their time, resources and skills to create a miniature injury prevention city.

Instruction is given by a Charleston Firefighter and Police Officer in motor vehicle safety, fire and burn prevention, bike and pedestrian safety, first aid skills, and requested safety topics.  Safety City's main attractions include a 911 simulator, driving cars through a realistic miniature city, and practicing a home fire escape drill using theatrical smoke.

Third grade classes from approximately 60 schools in Kanawha County and nearby areas transport their students to this one day program from September to June.  Every class has 25-30 students scheduled.
